There are one hill and eight buildings in the Northern Prefecture of the Eastern Jin Dynasty Chapter 5366: What can be done when people die and government dies?
Chapter 5366: What can be done when people die and government dies?
Having said this, Bai Hu looked around at the other three guards in the secret room and said in a deep voice: "My lords, just like our lives, from the moment we are born, we know that we will die one day. Then
Is it because we will die sooner or later, so we have to do nothing in this life, just eating and waiting to die every day? We are all children of aristocratic families, and we were full of ambitions when we were young. We want to rely on what we have learned in our lives to rule the country and bring peace to the world. What Liu Yu is doing now
Yes, isn’t it about realizing the dreams we had when we were young?”
"Because of our cowardice and selfishness, we all have to compromise with reality in the end. For ourselves and for our descendants, we can always enjoy the glory and wealth, always be in front of others, always accept the offerings of the common people, and abandon our own
The ideal has turned into the person that I hated to be the most. But Liu Yu did not. He is still realizing the dreams we had when we were young and turning these incredible things into reality. Could it be that we have not considered it at all?
Why change him instead of changing ourselves?"
Qinglong's eyes sparkled, and he said in a deep voice: "Master Baihu, we have been changing ourselves. The old Black Hand Qiankun and the fake Black Hand Qiankun are all because they refuse to change and only think about the benefits of occupying the high-ranking family, but they don't
To make corresponding contributions, in the end it failed and was destroyed. Even those in the fake mafia did not approve of the children of our aristocratic family being as greedy as before, but even with these changes, our aristocratic family should
The high sect is actively seeking change, and what Liu Yu wants is to completely eliminate us so that there will no longer be noble families. Can this be the same thing?"
Bai Hu calmed down his emotions and spoke in a gentle tone: "We are all sitting here to safeguard our interests and the interests of our descendants. We want to preserve the aristocratic family and the noble clan as a whole, but if we as a whole, outsiders cannot
Defending against enemies will not bring peace to the people at home. Under internal and external troubles, even if Liu Yu does not destroy us, foreign enemies and internal strife will kill us. It is not Liu Yu who wants to change and destroy us, but we ourselves have to protect our country.
You won’t let yourself be wiped out.”
Having said this, Bai Hu looked at the silent Xuanwu and said: "The aristocratic families and powerful men in the Western Jin Dynasty, because of their greed and depravity, triggered the Eight Kings Rebellion. In the last five years, China was ruined and the north was lost. How can we live now?"
The best aristocratic family is just a poor thing under the sword of the barbarians. It is as powerful as the Cui family of Qinghe. Under the butcher's knife of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the entire family and the married family will be destroyed at any time. If it were not for the Hulu in the north.
Under his rule, even his life could not be saved. How could a wealthy northern family like the Lu family be willing to abandon their foundation and go south to the Jin Dynasty?"
"Another example is the Tianshi Dao Rebellion. This is something we have personally experienced. So many aristocratic families were killed in their entire families. So many wealthy landlords wore silk and satin at home during the chaos.
We starved to death holding gold, silver and jewels, and even so many officials who came from aristocratic families were chopped into pieces and eaten during the chaos. We ourselves have oppressed thousands of low-level tenant farmers and bankers, and we have not yet
We know that, as a result, these people rebelled under the organization of careerists, and our family suffered in the end. If it weren't for the hard work of soldiers like Liu Yu, how could we be here today to discuss world affairs?"
Xuanwu sighed softly and said sternly: "Master Baihu, what you said is true. Those among the aristocratic families who are not enterprising and arrogant have caused unimaginable harm to the country and to their own family. We
The reason why the Mafia Universe was rebuilt is to prevent such a thing from happening again. But in my opinion, the internal fighting between the Mafia guards is more important than the top-down oppression of the people and the lack of progress of the nephews.
It is a more terrifying thing, whether it is the Western Jin Dynasty or the Tianshi Tao Rebellion, if the guards of Black Hand Qiankun are not killing each other and unable to form a joint force, why would this happen?"
Bai Hu shook his head: "In the Old Black Hand Qiankun, Xi Chao, Wang Ningzhi and others, including Xie An, are indeed fighting among themselves, but in general, our family's lack of progress and enjoyment has made us lose our confidence in the army.
control, and then lose the ability to suppress the people, and cannot give the people any hope and room for improvement. This resentment will continue to accumulate. When it accumulates to the point that we ourselves cannot use the army to suppress it, then the world will be in chaos.
.”
Suzaku said solemnly: "Even if the Hulu rebelled against China, and even if the Tianshi Tao rebelled successfully, they would just replace a group of people who are superior. The Huru in the north let their tribal chiefs and nobles rule, and the same goes for the Tianshi Tao.
The hierarchy is strict, and thieves like Lu Xun and Xu Daofu control everything. Even if these people conquer the world, they will be a new batch of aristocratic families, and they will be passed down to their descendants, so they are not as good as us."
Bai Hu sighed: "Yes, they will become a new group of nobles from aristocratic families, and then in a longer or shorter period of time, they will be overthrown by another group of people, and then another group of nobles from aristocratic families will come to power, and the cycle will repeat.
Life goes on, and the world is always in turmoil and strife. We aristocrats, like ordinary people, cannot even guarantee our basic lives. We think about it for eternity, but we may not even be able to protect ourselves in this life. Is this what we want?
?What Liu Yu is doing seems to us to be treasonous and ridiculous, but he is at least trying to eliminate the seeds of this unrest at the root, which are two things: strengthening the country and calming the people!"
Qinglong nodded: "I must admit that his idea is good. Without the nobles of the aristocratic families, the country will directly control the common people. Then there will be a lot of tax revenue and sufficient manpower. The country will definitely become stronger. And rely on it.
This short-term stimulating military merit and title system seems to give the people hope and hope, so they will get some comfort. It seems that it can indeed eradicate this cycle of chaos and chaos."
"But, let me say it again, the real source of turmoil does not lie in the equality of everyone, but in the greed, selfishness and laziness in people's hearts. You said it yourself, Liu Yu is a noble, naive fool
, Everything he fought for may seem easy to obtain during his lifetime because of his power, but once he dies, his successor will definitely not be as selfless and noble as him, and everything will come back.
Back to the starting point. Just like the ancient sages and kings all abdicated the system, but as long as one person takes the lead in the world, there will be no going back!" (End of this chapter)
